display something like this:
<mx:Button textAlign="left" label="{'Restore Close ' +'\n'+ 'Default
Settings'}" height="140" width="500" />
When I try in Flex 2.0, it behaves as described in the Flex 2.0 books:
"If you explicitly size a Button control so that it is not large enough to
accommodate its label, the label is truncated and terminated by an ellipses
(...). The full label displays as a tooltip when you move the mouse over
the Button control. If you have also set a tooltip using the tooltip
property, the tooltip is displayed rather than the label text."
I get the tooltip to display the complete label in the example above. As
you can see, the height would be more than enough to display both lines,
but it display the ellipses.

sounds like a lot of work for something that was straight forward in
flex1.5.

weird.
not as weird as you might think. in our flex 1.5 app, we had our own
version of a buttonbar which appeared below a datagrid showing stock
(for eg).
usually a two word description on a button label eg "release
stock", "hold stock", better describes the action of the button ....
as well as significantly reducing the width of the overall button
bar.
